MEXICO CITY (apro).– One of the co-founders of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, created Bluesky as an alternative to the social network that businessman Elon Musk bought and although he will barely announce its launch, he has a million users on his personal list.
The new social network was announced in 2019 as a project organized by Twitter to develop a decentralized protocol, allowing users to have full control of their online identity, their account and their followers, and to be able to transfer all this to other platforms, Forbes indicated.
The firm began hiring staff since 2021, as an independent social network, and last year it announced how it works and its goal is to launch an application like Twitter.
Until now, the application can be accessed by invitation and the waiting list has 1.2 million people, which, apparently, will go on the market in a general way, but without specifying a date.
Bloomberg reported the download of this application for 245 thousand times by iPhone users and more than half were in April 2023.
Recently, the social network launched a version of its application for Android, similar in its presentation and operation to Twitter.
“This is a very simple microblogging format to show how Twitter could have been built,” Bluesky CEO Jay Graber said.
Dursey (1976) is an American software developer and entrepreneur, co-founder of Twitter, as well as founder and CEO of Square, a mobile phone payment company.
In 2015 he was appointed CEO of Twitter by the company’s Board of Directors, until his resignation in 2021. In 2008, he was named in the TR35 of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as one of the top 35 innovators in the world, under 35 years of age. .
The Wall Street Journal awarded him the technology “innovator of the year” award.
